The proof of their mettle will come when they attend to the millions of Muslims they let in, willy nilly, with no attention to their backgrounds, criminal, terrorist or otherwise. All these immigrants have to say is, "I need asylum" and they're in, never to be kept tabs on again. With our huge, largely unmonitored border to the north, this is the biggest problem we have with our neighbors. So the question here is, are they with us or with the terrorists? And, if the latter, what are we going to do about it?

Does anyone know which end of the trading relationship we're on -- are we the net importer or net exporter?

I think we import significantly more from Canada than we export to them.

I'm not sure how NAFTA would figure into the equation, but we really wouldn't have to stop imports to put a real hurting on their economy.

All we would have to do is slow them to a trickle by closely inspecting everything and everybody that crossed from north to south.

I suspect that these recently arrived immigrants will be in for a big surprise if they get to froggy with their Canadian hosts. Canadians are generally rather mild mannered until something really pisses them off. At which point they put down the BC bud and pickup a hockey stick and commence to score bank shots off people's heads.

They have proven their mettle in every armed conflict right at out side for the last century. Now they need to prove their mettle by ousting their leftist Government next election. PLEASE
